_Luke SAll Action, No Lulls!!!This is my favorite surf podcast mostly because it isn’t about surfing. I’m no media reviewer…but this is 5 star fun all the way.
-
CreateElementThe best podcastThis is the beat podcast for real.

jemothiStoked on The GritDavid Lee Scales and Chas Smith are the Yin and Yang of surfing podcasts. Never fails to entertain while providing a window into today’s surf culture. These lads are sharp, funny, and best of all, honest. Keep up the work!

Nimble9Any thing goesBest surf, non surf podcast out there.

shojocro2nd Favorite surf podcastGreat show. It took a few years, but I've started to appreciate Chas, or the persona of Chas. Or more accurately, listening to David cleverly coax Chas in and out of his contrived person - Neither knowing nor caring where the line of division frolics. In the end, Chas is an everyman in fancy loafers. He is you and he is me and we all lie to ourselves just a little. They also talk about the WSL and some surfing.

seaboy.eliBestBest surf podcast its the Thrasher of surfing that the surfing world needs🔥🔥🔥

jaywillsonThe No. 1 Surf Gossip PodcastDavid and Chas are great- Love the banter and discussion topics.
-
blind bogus benGuilty pleasureThe bad-news bears of pop-surf culture. Never a dull moment with these SoCal bros. WSL should hire these guys as consultants, seriously. Or have they already, and it’s all a big heist?

ItsSeppoJoe…jackget barrel“Surfing is a consuming fire.”

Brad_DadChaz is funny- David is all businessThe low stars are FOElo (friends of Elo) and other adult learners. Wsl blew Covid by trying to be too WOKE. Dave has put in a lot of time and work into creating the podcast network for surf pods.

Matt.9001The most entertaining surf podcast EVER.David and Chas put out the most entertaining podcast you can find. Funny, witty, irreverent... It ticks all the boxes you would see on a movie poster. Seriously though, very, very good. I listen to every episode, sometimes twice, and can’t wait for the next one.

kookface90David “dinen’t” Lee ScalesGreat show

John John 4 12So painful, this guys a legend but the Teflon’s wearing thinI had a long layover in a hotel, I listened because i feel obligated as there are no shows about surfing, and I’m in the business of surf, I battled thru the 1.5 hr podcast, this podcasts is as boring as the WSL who’s ceo the closest he ever got to surfing was supping in the Great Lakes of United States of America, thousands of miles from surfing centers, and Slater not going to Australia, I know why but I’m not telling, and it’s not what you think, and the people that were there would know, and nobody’s talking hahah. I gave five stars and that’s probably ubers fault, but yeah

Jhaynes89My Favorite PodcastI’m an avid podcast listener. I listen to everything from The Joe Rogan Experience, to Dan Carlin’s Hardcore History and many other’s in between both surf and non-surf related. And I can honestly say that this is my favorite podcast, by far. The relentless honesty about all-things surf it’s so refreshing. Plus the comedy factor keeps me coming back for more. My favorite comment so far was an oldie but a goodie… “Matt Wilkinson has 40 year-old mom hair”. I still laugh at that today. Love the Pod. Keep up the good work boys! - John, from Encinitas

hionthehogPod crapTrying to listen to Chaz Smith is like trying to listen to Steven A Smith. Impossible
-
BrandongAwesomeNo wonder stab gets sponsorsNo stoke to be had here. Just two old dudes gatekeeping fun and whining about the “surf industry” leaving them behind.
-
YungJuju69So funny!David and Chas are soooooo funny! and good surf talk too. I love how Chas calls David "David Lee" 😂
-
Must be The QuimbysComedyDavid and Chaz are funny! It’s humor! Drop in, take it in, and enjoy it!
-
WoodenPlanksWow!These people are idiots! Listen to them holding each other’s packages as they wink and smile at one another.
-
Needs help $DLS is still the bestEven as so many compeatators have entered the surf podcst field, DLS proves that his years of committment and work honing his craft has kept his far above the field. He knows how to produce quality and has really sharpened his interview skills. Love Chas, but on his own his lack of podcast producing expertise is evident. Keep it up DLS!
-
The fittest oneMy new favorite conspiracy theory podcast!Really though, I enjoy this 80% of the time.
-
Ellabee2OkInteresting perspective until they devolve into douchey dudebros. Example “fat” Australian woman comedian.

FoodSurferBeachbreak BarrelLove this podcast! It’s such a refreshing reprieve from typical surf media with a stripped down, no B.S. conversation between two surfers. Sure they cover current topics but thankfully it’s not the surf news. David and Chas take time to meander through topics just like real people do with real conversations, tangents included. While they are industry guys, they bring a humble, everysurfer lens to their talks that makes you want to give them both a Kook of the Day feature as well as an award for stretching surf media into a new era with conversations that matter. Always entertaining - good on ya lads!
-
ChanceB737Raw insight to surf & surf industryDavid & Chas discuss current events in surfing & surf industry. Honest perspectives. Always enjoy each episode!

FrittttttterGreat listenVery entertaining conversations about the surf world. Love it every time there is a new podcast

Shukin_m021 – The Grit! May 25, 2018 UFC modelI kind of love the idea of the UFC style card within surfing to make it more interesting and I would probibly pay for the the episode, however, what then would the cost be to be a spectator at the showdown at Pipeline be? The UFC model also factors in box office sales into their purse I am sure, how does something like the WSL do this under the idea posed in this episode? I liked the debate on the airs, would love to hear you guys reachout further to perhaps Tony Alva who was one of the surfers turned skaters and fetured in Hal Jepson's 1975 surf classic Super Session, he would have an interesting take I am certain.

unhappy with your podcastsHuh?JohnJohn past his prime? Ha! He’s coming off back to back world titles! Def like the idea of him maybe dropping off tour to do events like Cape Fear and other key contests throughout the year, though. ....as long as he’s still a wildcard at Chopes and Pipe.
-
Cbrody2008Chas is interesting at firstChas makes Scales tolerable, and the Grit is on all the surf trends. The show is often gold when they focus on the sport and the lifestyle that are surfing. They should avoid the gerry springer type moments as that show was forced and lame. Fyi, “welcome to paradise” is a must read if you care at all about surfing or the north shore. I prob wont bother watching the lisa anderson movie, just how it is. The WSL is lame and the margies debacle proves it... Can u imagine what AI would say?!

GnarshralperAnother great pod from Surf SplendorAlways psyched to see this pop up in my queue
-
Alex ChechsNah...These two bronies are the equivalent of listening to a wire brush being scraped across a chalkboard on a loop remixed by Skrillex. I wonder is self awareness is a term theybeven understand.

MarksurfzIf you surf, you gotta tune in.I never miss an episode of this show. David and Chaz crack me up and provide real insight on the world of surf from a humorous and sometimes maddening lens. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry. You may ride something beside a tri...
